Not only is it a way to save money but it will also make a big impact on the child. When my children were little, I would tell them to do certain things but they always did what they saw us doing. I learned that lesson early, thankfully. I hope you find the support and ideas you seek on Free our Kids.rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-30235112172859313622013-01-18T13:04:03.130+10:002013-01-18T13:04:03.130+10:00As a long time lurker I am compelled to comment to...As a long time lurker I am compelled to comment today.

It's a subject I've read a lot about and of which I feel so strongly. Even though I'm able to buy new things, I usually don't. I accept when friends offer hand-me-down toys and clothes. I shop Goodwill or consignment. It feels good not to waste resources on brand new items. And these are very nice things! The kids are always thrilled and don't know the difference. Yet I'm the only friend in my circle who does this. I've recently resolved not to buy any cheap, plastic, "made in china" products and have focused on well-made, usually wooden and domestically made (if possible) on the rare occasion that I do buy a brand new toy for my girls. Started following the "Free Our Kids" blog to get ideas and "support" and find a community of like-minded people. Thanks so much for sharing the link to this article... Hope you and Hanno have a lovely, lovely weekend!

Not only can you read it with one hand and breastfeed with the other, but it cuts back on all that paper that my book addiction was costing the planet.
